Passive-ish Changes:

-

  • The wake up animation is now much faster.
  • Base Damage 15 => 12.
  • Base Max Health 160 => 120.
  • - Stat changes to fit other changes.
  • Hurt Box Size 100% => 75%.
  • - A buff to make dodging easier, for vanilla and especially difficulties like Inferno.

Passive Changes:

-

  • Poison and Blight moved to apply with most skills.
  • - Blighted skills apply Blight that deals 330% base damage over 3s. Can stack.
  • - Poisonous skills apply Poison that deals 4.5% of the enemy's maximum health over 3s. Deals a minimum DPS of 100% base, and a maximum of 5000% base. Cannot stack. Can kill.
  • New passive - Regenerative, replaces Poison
  • - Regenerative attacks heal over a short duration.
  • - Heal for 5% of your maximum health over 1s. Can stack.
  • New passive - Frenzied, replaces Blight
  • - Attacks that apply Regenerative apply Frenzied instead, which increases movement speed for a short duration.
  • - Gain 20% Movement Speed for 5s. Can stack.

M1 Changes:

-

  • Removed Vicious Wounds Sprint Cancel.
  • - I really liked the M1 cancel before they changed how "stepped" skills work, it was essentially a choice between healing/band proc or extra DPS. Nowadays, it's just a straight upgrade.
  • Vicious Wounds Attack Speed 100% => 120%.
  • - This is a decent compensation, didn't want to push it too far.
  • Vicious Wounds' third hit is now Poisonous.

M2 Changes:

-

  • Neurotoxin is now Blighted.
  • Neurotoxin now travels in a downward arc.
  • Neurotoxin Damage 240% => 260%.
  • Neurotoxin Area of Effect 3m => 8m.
  • Neurotoxin Cooldown 2s => 3s.
  • - Changes to make it more interesting and skillful, while also being more different from Ravenous Bite and encouraging closer range overall.
  • Ravenous Bite no longer has Slayer.
  • Ravenous Bite is now Blighted.
  • Ravenous Bite is now Agile.
  • Ravenous Bite Damage 320% => 440%.
  • Ravenous Bite Cooldown 2s => 3s.
  • - Changes to make it less of a straight upgrade, didn't have any ideas to make it more interesting.

Utility Changes:

-

  • Caustic Leap is now Blighted.
  • Caustic Leap Damage 320% => 260%.
  • - Slight nerfs in burst due to stronger DoTs.
  • Caustic Leap Pool Damage 100% => 200%.
  • Frenzied Leap is now Regenerative.
  • Frenzied Leap Cooldown Reduction Per Hit 2s => 0s.
  • Frenzied Leap Damage 550% => 650%.
  • Frenzied Leap Cooldown 10s => 6s.
  • Frenzied Leap Radius 10m => 6.5m.
  • - Changes to make it much more interesting, and have more utility, but be harder to use.
  • All skills can now be cast during both leaps.
  • - This is a bit buggy with M1, I might fix it later... but it's funny.
  • Both leaps no longer inflict knockback.
  • - This is to help with melee being janky at times right after landing a leap.

Special Changes:

-

  • Epidemic now travels in a downward arc.
  • Epidemic is now Blighted.
  • Epidemic Max Targets 1048577 => 4.
  • Epidemic Damage 100% => 240%.
  • Epidemic Max Range 30m => 35m.
  • Epidemic now makes all enemies hit share 25% TOTAL Damage taken for 5s.
  • - I couldn't figure out anything more interesting.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
